Following the debut of the GAIA Neo range of products at the recently completed HIGH END Munich 2025 audiophile show, IsoAcoustics—a global developer of acoustic isolation solutions for the professional, home audio and OEM (original equipment manufacturer) sectors–has announced new partnerships with JBL, Marten, and Innuos.
Although it is primarily known for its isolation technology for the home and professional audio markets, IsoAcoustics has a long-established OEM program that integrates its acoustic isolation technologies into the designs of third-party audio brands. Some of these brands and products include Sonus faber’s $750,000 Suprema system, as well as Perlisten’s Limited Edition S7, PSB’s Synchrony Series, Gershman Acoustics’ Black Swan and Lyravox’s Karlmann Monolith products.

“People have often asked, ‘If IsoAcoustics’ products are so effective, why don’t manufacturers use them?’” admits Dave Morrison, founder of IsoAcoustics. “Our growing OEM program is the answer. We’re now working hand-in-hand with leading brands to integrate our patented isolation technology directly into their designs.”
The Canadian company states that all OEM products are collaborative adaptations of its home audio offerings, which eliminate the conduction of unwanted vibrations and reflections that can otherwise smear or distort sound quality. By effectively managing the boundary condition between the speaker and its supporting surface, IsoAcoustics asserts that its isolation technology helps deliver a more open, natural soundstage with enhanced spaciousness and depth. To date, IsoAcoustics has collaborated on approximately 125 OEM projects with over 55 OEM brand partners. These numbers will continue to grow year-over-year with additional OEM partnerships scheduled for announcement later this year.
GAIA Neo Drives New Industry Partnerships
Building on its acoustic isolation technology achieved by the original GAIA series, the newly announced GAIA Neo series represents what the company says is a refinement in the design. Notable developments in the design include integrated height adjustment, simplified installation, and improved performance characteristics.
IsoAcoustics stresses that true to its home-to-OEM philosophy, GAIA Neo not only meets everyday user demand, but it expands the company’s OEM offerings. This growth has quickly led to major new partnerships with industry powerhouses JBL and Marten.
At HIGH END Munich 2025 show earlier this year, JBL launched its expanded Summit Series featuring three new models: Summit Makalu, Summit Pumori, and Summit Ama. Each model incorporates JBL IsoAcoustics isolation feet—a low-profile, height-adjustable adaptation of GAIA Neo.
“We are excited to partner with IsoAcoustics on a custom adjustable isolator foot for use on our flagship JBL Summit Series loudspeakers. The acoustic and mechanical performance offered by their innovative design, combined with a luxurious aesthetic, is the perfect complement to our new loudspeakers,” notes Jim Garrett, senior director, product strategy and planning at HARMAN.
During the European audiophile show Sweden’s Marten unveiled its new Coltrane Supreme Extreme speakers that feature a 400 kg (882 pound) dual-cabinet design with independent bass and mid/upper-range cabinets that are built on GAIA Neo’s isolation technology to maintain the clarity and performance of the system.
Additionally, also debuting at Munich was Innuos Nazaré flagship streamer that utilizes integrated GAIA IV technology. This collaboration, IsoAcoustics suggests, demonstrates its versatility in serving not only loudspeaker applications but also high-end audio equipment.
